“Nicholas Sparks generally writes sappy love stories, but I found this autobiography to be probably his best work.”

So Zach, my oldest son, is always trying to get me to read Nicholas Sparks and I can't do it. His writing is exceptional, and he is one of the few authors that can really make me feel what his characters are feeling. But I don't want to feel as much as what he can make me feel. His writing is too close to home for me. I identify too strongly with his characters -- and then they have these horrible trajedies happen and I feel as though my husband has died himself, and that is just way too raw. Can't go there.
But I did read Three Weeks with My Brother. It is a non fiction book, about an around the world tour with his own brother. And throughout the journey he also takes us through his own life, and I understand why Nicholas Sparks' books are so filled with tragedy. This man knows tragedy. His ability to place it on a page and send it into his readers souls is nothing short of genius, but it is because tragedy is an intimate acquaintance. He himself does not hide from his emotions -- he knows them well. You can't hide from them and still be able to communicate them the way that he does.
So will I read his books now-- I am better able to, and I have read a couple. Not reading The Notebook. not now , not ever.”
“I loved hearing about all of the places they went to and since I have enjoyed many of Nicholas Sparks books it was fun to hear about some of his real life stuff.”
